Baer BIG Claw Performance Rotors

2019–2025 Ram 1500 (Front) with Caliper Relocation Bracket

2141021

Overview:

The Baer BIG Claw Slotted and Drilled Zinc Plated Performance Rotors are a premium upgrade designed specifically for the front brakes of the 2019 through 2025 Ram 1500. This bolt-on kit delivers enhanced braking performance without the complexity or expense of a full big brake system. Ideal for Ram 1500 owners seeking improved stopping power, reduced brake fade, and a striking visual upgrade, the BIG Claw rotors combine larger diameter rotors with caliper relocation brackets to maximize brake torque and cooling efficiency.

These rotors are engineered to provide consistent, reliable braking under demanding conditions, making them a perfect choice for daily driving, towing, or spirited off-road use where enhanced brake performance is critical.

Key Features:

The Baer BIG Claw rotors incorporate advanced design elements to improve braking effectiveness and durability. Key features include:

• Larger than stock one-piece rotors increase brake torque and reduce stopping distances.
• Cross-drilled and slotted surfaces allow dust and gases generated during braking to escape, maintaining consistent pedal feel and reducing brake fade.
• Purpose-cast construction with added mass in the friction area enhances heat absorption for better thermal management.
• Directionally curved vanes act like a centrifugal pump, maximizing airflow through the rotor to improve heat dissipation and cooling.
• Direct bolt-on installation requires no brake bleeding, simplifying the upgrade process.
• Includes caliper relocation brackets that reuse original equipment pad abutment clips and hardware, retaining OE pad fitment.
• Durable zinc-plated finish with slotted and drilled styling provides corrosion resistance and a visually striking appearance behind large open wheels.
• Designed to fit a wide range of aftermarket wheels; however, fitment verification using Baer’s provided template is recommended.

Construction & Design:

The BIG Claw rotors are crafted from high-quality, purpose-cast materials engineered for strength and thermal performance. The one-piece rotor design increases mass in the friction area, allowing for superior heat absorption and resistance to warping under heavy braking. The directional curved vane design enhances airflow, acting as a centrifugal pump to draw cooling air through the rotor, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and reduces brake fade during extended use.

The zinc-plated finish not only protects against corrosion but also adds a brilliant shine that complements large, open-spoke wheels, elevating the truck’s overall aesthetic.

Installation & Fitment:

This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the front brakes of Ram 1500 models from 2019 to 2025. Installation is straightforward and does not require bleeding the brake system. The included caliper relocation brackets allow the use of original equipment brake pads and hardware, ensuring a seamless fit and maintaining OE pad performance. Due to the variety of wheel designs and sizes, Baer recommends verifying wheel clearance using their provided template to ensure proper fitment, including consideration for spare tire and wheel combinations.

What's Included:

• Pair of front BIG Claw one-piece slotted and drilled rotors
• Caliper relocation brackets
• Hardware to reuse OE pad abutment clips and mounting components

Ideal For:

This performance rotor upgrade is ideal for Ram 1500 owners who want enhanced braking power and heat management without the cost and complexity of a full big brake kit. It suits daily drivers, towing enthusiasts, and off-roaders who demand consistent, fade-resistant braking and a stylish rotor appearance that complements aftermarket wheels.

Baer Brakes develops high-performance braking systems built to improve stopping power, heat management, and pedal confidence. From big brake kits to performance rotors and calipers, Baer focuses on engineered, detail-oriented solutions that help performance cars, trucks, and restomods brake harder and stay consistent under repeated heavy use.
